    How does Debian do level and security updates? Are they generally a good pace but userland starts consistent?

    Debian is honestly goated. Like I love me a nice boring stable distro that just keeps on chugging. I have done such crazy stuff to Debian and it just refuses to care. It’s like a nokia phone that got run over by a car and still works.

      Debian is basically exactly what I want out of a daily driver. Everything is exactly where I expect it to be every time I go to use it, nothing ever breaks because of a regular update, and it’s not like I can’t just go get the flatpack if I absolutely need the most recent features on an app.

        Debian is also perfectly capable of running more bleeding edge stuff if you really wanna do it. I built niri from source on it. Works great.

    I picked Debian with absolutely no knowledge of Linux, have yet to switch or try other distros, it’s been well over two years now.
